Reality has hit…my adventure has truly begun!
Today I entered my practicum school not only as a student, but as a preservice teacher.
I could feel eyes full of curiosity on me, as Mrs Williams introduced me, “Ms Dalzell” to her 3rd grade students…I was to become a member of their class.
Thanks to a little hand in the air… and a “can you help me with this”… my nerves began to settle. I was seen as someone who could help… and during that short period of explanation.. I was a teacher.
So… feel free to follow along as my adventure as a student teacher unfolds…
Lessons of the day:
*Obviously not all, but these ones warmed my heart*
“Make connections with the students first, and teaching will come” Mrs. W
Respect your learning… and respect the learning of others. Being a teacher is about allowing students to take ownership of their learning and education.

It was wonderful to have you in my class today! You bring an energy that is inspiring to me and engaging for the students. This blog and your professional learning journey on Twitter demonstrate your commitment to teaching and learning. I can’t wait to see all of the amazing and exciting lessons you have planned and to watch you grow as a teacher. What a great start to your lifelong journey as an educator 🙂

Hey are using WordPress for your blog platform?
I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and set up my own. Do you need any coding knowledge to make
your own blog? Any help would be really appreciated!
Hi there! No coding knowledge necessary! It is a pretty simple platform to use 🙂
I absolutely love your website.. Excellent colors & theme.
Did you make this website yourself? Please reply back as I’m looking to create my
very own website and would like to find out where you got this from or just what
the theme is named. Kudos!
Hi! Thank you so much! I use one of the wordpress themes provided, but customize it myself with the colour scheme and images 🙂 Best of luck with your website!!
Sarah

Do you mind if I quote a couple of your articles as long
as I provide credit and sources back to your website? My website is in the exact same area of interest as yours and my users would really benefit from some of the information you provide here.
